look once more on the features OF his wife,
who died day before yesterday, Neebo
was taken from his cell by Jailer
Folse. He looked stouter than
ever, but very pale, His clothing
was shabby, his oyercoat seedy, and his
once jaunty slouch hat covered with dust.
He was smoking cigar. Deputy Sheriff
Spears and the brothers hurried out, step
pod into the carriage In the alley and were
driven rapidly out. Neebe and the deputy
stepped into the death chamber unherald-
cd. As Necbe's glance ali4hted on tho
coffin of his wife he broke down com
pletoly and fell 10 the floor, big drops OF
tears rolling down his deathly pale face.
Meta MetaW he exclaimed repeatedly
addressing himself 10 his wife The pris.
oner remained ut the coflin, and for twenty
minutes seemed in a torpor. Slowly
his eyes began TO move around. He recog.
niEed his friends, embraced his father,
kissed his children, and finally with tho
words, ~ guess we better 60" directed u
the officer, left the room and soon after
ward was conducted back TO the Jail Tho

The two then stated that undoubtedly
there would be bands OF music and a
large procession. Therefore legal author
ity was wanted 10 carry out arrangements
without noles,ation. The mayor replied
that while he would advise quiet cerc.
mony, they would not be interfered with

Horrible Torture.

CIrr or MExIoo, March e.-Rocently,
near, Leon, three brothers named Mar
qucz accused an old man named Juan
Hurtado, Of stealing some jackasses
Coming on him on the road, they
seized him and beat him in a barbar-
Gus manner TO secure a confession. Re-
fusing to confess, they stripped him naked,
tied him TO a tree, and stuck his body
full Of huasache thorns They then
hung him up by the fingers until they pulled
his nails of, burned his feet and otherwise
horribly mutilated him, and then as ho
still persisted innocence they took him to
the political chief Of Acordada, who shot
him dead. Superior authorities became

HAUNTED
ny the Spirit OF His victim--Ths Fright
fuI Vision That Appears to Ungor In His


fuI Vision That Appears to Unger I'm His
Cell.
NBw YoRK, March 13.-Edward Unger,
who was sent to Sing Sing for life for the
murder Of August Bohle, is now in tho
hospital Of the prison, sufferer from
nervous prostration. His physical strength
before his trial was great, and his steadi-
ness Of nerve in court was surprising,
but his stamina is all gone, and he has
become miserable covering wreck.
On the first morning In the prison
he told O keeper that he had been visited
during the night by his dismembered vic
tim, who had proceeded TO reconstruct
himself in the terrified prisoners pres
enca. OF this dream he could not be die
abused. He seemed 10 believe It was real
ity. Every night 1t came TO him,
and at the end Of week no was
much broken down. In the hospital IL
has been tho Same with him, except
when he is kept very soundly asleep under
narcotic influence. He dreams that the
mangled pieces Of his friend arc strewn
about the room, where they lie awhile In
animately, as they did before he packed
the body in the trunk and threw the head
into the river. Then the fragments begin
to CULVER. Soon they move slowly toward
each other, until they are In heap. Next
they adjust themselves into human form
But the head is missing. At length that,
too, comes into the room, with
Its hair dripping with the water
sf the river in which it has lain. With Q
horrible smile on its face, it places itself on
the shoulders of the figure and menaces the
murderer. Unger shrieks out at this
point, and the apparition vanishes from
ais Imagination. All efforts have failed to
'elieve him Of these visions, and the prison
physician advises his removal TO the State
Asylum for Lunatic Criminals.

FAREWELL TO PLYMOUTH.
Final Service Over the Old Church's Be-
loved Pastor.

BROOKLYN, March 1l.-Plymouth Church
was crowded almost to suffocation to-day
by members OF the dead Beecher's congro.
CATION and others who could gain entrance
The services began at 1890. DR.. Halls
funeral address was most touching and
eloquent tribute TO him he loved so we'll
There seemed at times not TO be a
dry eye in the vast audience. All
afternoon yesterday the long line of
people passed through the church TO view
the remains, and the rush was so great
that it was found necessary 10 increase
the force around the church doors The
throng was made up OF almost all ma
tionalities. As the day advanced the line
Of people extended until IL reached Fulton
street; then down one side Of the next
block and up the other, with another wing
across Henry street. 1t was estimated
that nearly twenty thousand people passed
before the catafalque during the day.
There were so many wreaths and bou-
quets left on the bier that q special place
had to be made near the platform at
the foot of the pulpit TO receive them.
Last night the Beecher residence was
brilliantly lighted and everything around
the house was made as bright as possible.
Mrs. Beecher had been in her late hus-
bands room a great portion OF the after
noon looking over his papers. 1t seems a
delight TO her TO be near where her hus.
band spent much of his time. The mem
bers of the family were dressed in bright
clothing, and every thing around was
made as light and cheerful as possible, in
accordance with the often expressed wish
Of Mr.. Beecher in case of his death.

THE FLEETINe COOK.
A Little Story Which Throws Considerable
Light on n Certain Glass OF Women.

A Little story Which Throws Considerable
Light on n Certain Glass OF Women.
Here is story on certain class Of
mistresses-- class that is not numer-
Gus, but is peculiar to the ranks of the
vulgar rich" who are so scorchingly
described by Ouida. A lady comes o
stranger to Buffalo, her husband an
army officer, ordered here on special
duty. SIZE at once breaks into house,
keeping and deems herself fortunate in
securing really good cook. One
morning while rejecting upon her luck
in finding such kitchen treasure
and she is a stranger in a strange place
she sees fine establishment-splen-
did sleigh, fine horses, swell coachman
drive up to her door. From the
sleigh steps out a very handsome
specimen of womanhood, elegantly
costumed. Our army woman, suspect
ing that she is to be made the recip.
lent of a little Buffalo welcome and hos.
pitality, steps to the mirror, gives her
bangs little twist and prinks up
hastily. She hears the door bell ring;
soon after hears voices in the parlor.
But there is no summons for her. and
in five minutes, more or less, the SUI
perbly dressed visitor aforesaid leaves
the house and drives off. The second
girl being asked for an explanation, re-
plies that the lady asked to see the
cook, and that functionary soon informs
her army mistress that she has had an
offer of much higher wages if she will
leave at once, and that the offer is too
tempting to refuse. Protest is ineffect-
ual, and wondering whether that is the
way of doing things in Buffalo, the dis
comfited housekeeper submits to the
result and goes out to hunt after another
cook. A few days pass, and the sleigh.
the coachman and same elegant speci-
men of the feminine gender again come
up to the door, and this time the lady
of tho house is certainly asked for.
With some reluctance and considerable
smothered Indignation she goes down,
but is soon disabused Of any notion that
the "lady" is going to make a call"
She briefly explains her errand-admits
that she is the woman who induced the
cook to leave. and complains that she 10
in "really awkward position;" for q
..splendid cook who used to live with
her wants to come back, and she, OF
course, feels under obligations to get
the other cook place, seeing that she
urged her to leave. She, therefore, asks
our army woman if she is willing totake
back her original cook 'as apersonal
favor" Beg pardon, reader. Did sou
saw .Well, Iswear!" Thatis just what
we said when we heard the story. and
it is true. every word tf it.--Byedlq

RELIGION IN POLITICS.
Chicago IsraelItes Form the Nucleus of n
National Movement.

CHICAGO, March ll.-What is probably
the first denominational political body to
see the light OF day in this country has just
been started in the Seventh Ward of this
city under charter granted by the Secre-
tary OF the State. 1t is called the Hebrew
Political Club,and is composed exclusively
of Hebrews in good standing in the local
synagogues, 1t starts out with member
ship of lbs, and having no distinctive poll
tics, will support such candidates as are
favorably inclined toward the Jewish race
Similar clubs are to be organized in all the
wards of the city where Hebrew residents
are strong, and It'll thought that eventually
the organization will not only be strong
enough to exercise an important influence
in local politics, but also to be the nucleus
Of National movement to the same end.
